For many optometrists, the journey typically begins in a high street practice. Here, they see a steady stream of patients, and whilst most cases are uncomplicated, there are moments when a second option is invaluable. In a bustling practice, you can simply turn to the optometrist in the next room, ask for their expertise, and find the peace of mind you need.
But what happens when you venture into the world of domiciliary optometry, where you may be the sole optometrist on the job?
Virtual ‘Optoms Next Door’ – Remotely by your side on every visit
Stepping into the world of domiciliary optometry at OutsideClinic is an extraordinary adventure. It’s a career path where you’re never alone, thanks to our robust support system. The ‘optoms next door’ here take on a new meaning – they are our dedicated professional services team, always at your side, guiding, assisting, and advocating for your patients.
While our optometrists, equipped with state-of-the-art portable equipment and lightweight kit bag, deliver sight tests one doorstep at a time, there may still be instances when a second opinion is required. Whether it’s a fundus camera photograph or advice on test findings, our innovative approach ensures help is just a few clicks away.
Fundus photos can be sent instantly and securely to our Professional Services team through our tablet technology. Additionally, we always have an optometrist on standby, ready to review the photo or take your call to provide immediate assistance. When you’re out on the road as an optometrist, you’re never alone in ensuring your patients receive the best possible care.
At OutsideClinic, we want you to make use of your time – and that’s best spent providing eye care. That’s why our Professional Services team takes care of referral calls for you. Unlike, in traditional practices, where valuable hours may be consumed with hospital referrals, our team ensures all referrals are processed efficiently. This means you can seamlessly transition from one patient to the next, focusing on delivering the best care possible.
